I didn't think 123Gone was going to let me don a smock and start spraying.
So, Tox, you up for a trip to Livingston this weekend to do the Sirius install. I'm serving baby-back ribs and all the refreshments you can handle!! lol!

I would, but I have a friend's bachelor party on Saturday. Golf at noon and drinking all day long.

Seems most everyone I know is getting married this year.

This is an awesome mod. Thanks for sharing I have always liked the look of lights behind the grille.

Someone asked me for some measurements of the brackets. I thought I would play around with a new program to share the bracket measurements. Obviously this is not drawn to scale, but you get the idea.

Thumbs up Very Nice Tox....

That program works pretty damn good.

Very nice indeed - I am sure someone will appreciate that work.

I did it in Google Sketchup. It's free and the basic stuff so far has been pretty easy. There is a way to do a picture where anyone can rotate around the object even if they don't have the program. But I forget how to do that. I'll find the instructions.

Tox! I did my lights behind the grill today. Thanks for the idea. Though my installation was fairly different than yours. I forgot the size of the lamp. It's been raining nonstop today while I was installing so I will post some pics sometime.

I really want to do that mod myself. I think I'm going to have to wait until after hunting season though. Hey Tox, where did you your black grill?
